Several crops of oats have been
harvested in this section this week
The farmers not cutting oats,
have been wishing for a rain, but
the reapers have been glad that the
falling of the rain was with held.
The cotton fields iu thia section
have been greatly pamaged by lice
These insects always attacks young
plants when the spring 'weather
remains cool; and when the warm
days come the planters are exspect
ing the boll weevils. It is nut
surprising that hundreds of acres
planted in cotton have been plow
ed up and planted in ground peat,
corn and velvet beans.

The Price
Os A Hog
j
A few weeks ago Mr. A. E.
White dropped arcund at the home
of Mr Joe Toole and offered him
sixteen dollars for an unmarked,
ordinaay looking yellow sow. The
price was accepted.
A week or so later Mr. C. C.
Weaver, of Edison, was looking
over the pen. Pointing t.-thesow
bought from Mr, Toole, he asked
Mr. White, “How much will you
take fur that sow?”
Mr. White replied: “I hardly
know. How much will you give
me?”
Mr. Weaver said: “I will give
you §3O for her, but will have to
ask you to let her stay here until
Saturday.” The trade was closed.
At the appointed time Mr. Wea
ver returned for the hog, and was
icompauied by a gentleman from
Edison. The sow was shown
to the stranger, who prompt
ly paid Mr. Weaver §SO for her.
The hog was two years old in
March, and was one the eaitress
had raised principally on slop.
The writer asked her husband
not to take less than twenty-five
dollars for her; but she had eaten
a chicken the day before Mr.
White offered the sixteen dollars
for her, and Mr. Toole said some
me was liable to Kill her if she
Kept an eating chickens, and that
he was going to eel! her.
We relate the facts so thrt our
readers may*realize the value of
hogs.

Oh, Motherland across the sea,
Imperial Mistress of the deep,
Dids’t think when dangers threat

With martial tread and roiling

And Canada from out the west
Sends on her bravest and best.

Oh! Moiherland-
We come, we come.
Oh! glorious France, in bygone
days
Thy standard waved ,o’er £«rest

And Lafayette, thy greateej son,
With RAcbambeau, from o’er sea
Helped us achieve our liberty.
Oh! peerless land, we are not dumb.
Ob! Glorious Frauce-
We come, we corner*
Oh! Nation of the Great North
land
Who threw the century’s chains
aside,
And look with imperious hand
The rights the Romanoff denied,
Thy noble stand for human rights,
'l’hy courage in darkest nights,
Thy love for us, when section-rent,
Sustained our martyr President.
To thy appeal we are not dumb.
Oh! Russia great-
Ne come, we come.
Ob! Belgium, shattered in the fight
Torn and dieraemoered by thy foe,

A gloiious triumph yet shall be.
From thy great sufferings „shall

A conceprated Belgium. j

Oh! Belgians brave- \
We come, Jr* l
The surely foe, with gas aid &un,
With Zeppelin and submarine,
The world-destroying, brutaiyt un-
The stnbboruest the world* has

Cannot resist the might of right
In this, his most unholy fight;
But beaten, baffled, back must go
O’erwhelmed by a triumphant
foe
And eat Defeat’s last bittercrumb.
Oh! Allies brave-
We come, we come.
